Interesting. I never knew about the C-s trick in all these years! I use
<SPC> for completion, and <UP>/<DOWN> for scrolling through minibuffer
history. But I should learn to use C-s, which seems more efficient.

VM actually has a "folders-summary" feature. Unfortunately, it is tied to
something called "berkeley-db". I never had berkeley-db and, so, never used
it. Arik Mitschang has been working on decoupling the folders-summary from
berkeley-db. Some of his work can be found in this branch:

Arik, are you online?
Cheers,
